Summary: | In this paper, we treat the following problem: Given a stable Gani-type
personflow model and assuming no negative recruitment, what recruitment
distribution at the n − step is capable of generating a staff-mix that
closely follows the desired structure? We relate the problem to the
challenge of universities in Nigeria towards reaching the desired academic
staff-mix by rank specified by the National Universities Commission (NUC).
We formulate a population-dynamic model consisting of aggregate-fractional
flow balance equations within a discrete-time Markov chain framework for the
system. We use MATLas a convenient platform to solve the system of
equations. The utility of the model is illustrated by means of academic
staff flows in a university-faculty setting in Nigeria. |
